Rethinking generic skills
No full textThe paper provides a critical analysis of the notion of generic or transversal skillscontained with European Union policy discourses. The author presents a conceptualframework that challenges the idea that generic skills are universal, transferable andautonomous. An alternative analysis is put forward that argues the case forcontextualising skills and knowledge within particular understandings and cultures thatare more collective than individualistic in nature. The arguments are framed withinwider cross-disciplinary debates in linguistics, geosemiotics and social-cultural theoryand build upon an earlier paper exploring core skills in the UK (Canning, 2007)
“Kitchen crafters”: Canning, feminism, and the value of ‘women’s work’
No full textThis thesis examines the enthusiasm and motivations for home canning in the twenty-first century within the context of the DIY movement of the 1990s and the current urban homesteading movement. Using interdisciplinary methodological approaches, including feminist history, feminist auto/biography, and autoethnography, the author provides historical background on home canning and homesteading in Canada and the United States; she also uses her own lived experiences of canning and gardening while pursing an MA in Gender Studies to analyze choice feminism. This thesis examines criticisms of the current interest in home canning by journalists, and the reactions of canning/urban homesteading bloggers to those articles. Ultimately this thesis argues that canning is a valuable skill and that feminism and foodwork are not incompatible; furthermore, blogging about canning and urban homesteading is breaking down the divide between the public and private spheres by providing an income for some bloggers through advertising and book deals
GSWA Central Canning GA Onshore Canning Percent Potassium Grid Geodetic
No full textMaintenance and Update Frequency: notPlannedStatement: This GSWA Central Canning GA Onshore Canning Percent Potassium Grid Geodetic is an airborne-derived radiometric potassium grid for the GSWA Central Canning, GA Onshore Canning merge, 2007-2009. The survey was acquired under the project No. 1334 for the geological survey of WA. The grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 89m). A total of 175415 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing of 800m and 60m terrain clearance were acquired to produce this grid. This radiometric potassium grid shows potassium element concentration of the GSWA Central Canning, GA Onshore Canning merge, 2007-2009 in units of percent (or %). Noise-adjusted singular value decomposition (NASVD) has been applied to the data. NASVD is a spectral component analysis procedure for the removal of noise from gamma-ray spectra. Details of the specifications of individual airborne surveys can be found in the Fourteenth Edition of the Index of Airborne Geophysical Surveys (Percival, 2014). This Index is also available online at http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/79134.

Percival, P.J., 2014. Index of airborne geophysical surveys (Fourteenth Edition).The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.<br/>This radiometric potassium grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 89m) and shows potassium element concentration of the GSWA Central Canning, GA Onshore Canning merge, 2007-2009 in units of percent (or %).

GSWA Central Canning GA Onshore Canning Magnetic Grid Geodetic
No full textMaintenance and Update Frequency: notPlannedStatement: This GSWA Central Canning GA Onshore Canning Magnetic Grid Geodetic is an airborne-derived Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) grid for the GSWA Central Canning, GA Onshore Canning merge, 2007-2009 survey. The survey was acquired under the project No. 1334 for the geological survey of WA. The grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 89m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT).

Employment and housing problems of migratory workers in New York and New Jersey canning industries, 1943
No full textBased on a survey conducted by Helen Bryan Sater and Caroline Manning, this report presents issues involving the employment and housing of migrant laborers in the New York and New Jersey canning industries (especially the tomato-canning industry in producing food for armed services) during World War II. The issues discussed include false promises to migrant workers concerning wages, available facilities and housing costs. Another issue discussed is the low standard of living and working conditions that government agencies uphold for migrant laborers. At this time there was an influx of African American and West Indian migrants to the area to occupy positions within the canning industry. Also, a great number of laborers were women and children. Polish, Italian, and white migrants from the South are also mentioned as significant populations within the industry. This report was issued by the United States Women's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor in 1943
Reconceptualising core skills
No full textThe paper provides an analysis of Core Skill policy and practice in the UK. The author presents a conceptual basis for re-thinking generic Core Skills within educational approaches in teaching and learning. The discussion looks at whether universal notions of generic skills are appropriate when considering post-compulsory pedagogic approaches to the design of the curriculum. The arguments are framed within wider cross‐disciplinary debates in linguistics, the psychology of work and education
